the downside of barefoot is dirty, callused feet. And dirty toe nails.
When I do home improvements, I wear surgical gloves so I don’t damage my hands and end up with dirty finger nails. Still my hands are nice and strong like they are getting a workout — not soft, but not construction worker like either. I’ve cut them plenty of times.
I don’t even want to think about reeking feet. Nasty.
About the snow suit, when you go skiing and sweat in it, that’s pretty gross. I get it washed.
That’s why aerated shoes are best. Though I don’t think flip flops with the Y straps are good. They separate the big toe from the 2nd toe, and that makes for really ugly feet. Might as well walk barefoot.
When I was little we used to live in different developing countries. Parents let us run around barefoot like the local kids. I remember it hurt a little at first, but you get used to it pretty quick. Don’t remember any injury.
